File Manager

Feature description

I am using the File Manager app, and I would like to request a feature improvement for the File Manager itself.

Currently, audio, video, and document files mostly appear with generic icons. I would like the File Manager app to display thumbnail previews for these file types:

• Audio files: Show the embedded album artwork (cover image).
• Video files: Show a video thumbnail/preview frame.
• Document files (PDF, DOC, etc.): Show a preview of the first page whenever possible.

This feature would make it much easier to identify files without opening them. Many file managers already support thumbnails for images, and extending this support to audio, video, and documents would greatly improve the user experience.

Why do you want this feature?

I am requesting this feature for the File Manager app because I often have to open other apps just to identify or verify a file. File names or titles are not always descriptive, so they don't always help me recognize the correct file. A thumbnail or preview is often much more useful and lets me identify the file instantly without opening another app. Adding thumbnails for audio, video, and document files would make browsing much faster, save time, and greatly improve the overall user experience
